The Heart of Art

Hello All!

Products Used: Paper Mache Heart, Prima Finnabair Metallic Paint, Wax, Metal Trinkets, Art Stones, Gesso, Heavy Body Gel, Modeling Paste. Lindys- Sprays and Magicals.  Misc lace, flowers and random bits.

It all started with this simple paper mache heart from Michaels.

I started with white gesso next I added all trinkets bobbles and bits.....

Finally I moved on to layers and layers of color. I used a mix of paint and mist. 

Then I finished it all off with a bit of wax.

Here you can see lots of texture I created using 

lace, modeling paste and a bit of  Art Stones.
